How do I register and pay for classes?
You can register online through our website or visit us in person. We accept various payment methods, including credit cards, cash, and electronic transfers. If you have any questions about registration or payment, feel free to contact us.
Do I need any dance experience or a partner to join the classes?
No experience is required! Our beginner classes are designed to teach the basic steps and timing from scratch. Also, you do not need to bring a partner—our classes typically rotate partners so everyone can practice with different leads and follows, creating a welcoming, social atmosphere.
What should I wear and what kind of shoes are recommended for Cuban salsa classes?
Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows easy movement. For footwear, opt for shoes with a smooth or suede sole (like dance sneakers or Latin dance shoes) to make turns and pivots easier. Avoid shoes with a grippy rubber sole that can hinder your turns.

Yes. We offer private, one-on-one lessons for individuals or couples who want personalized attention or need to perfect a specific routine. We also provide specialized workshops for weddings, corporate events, or private parties. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and schedule.
